Overview
- FEPEVINA’s technical report maps widespread deterioration and a 14% year-on-year rise in road deaths to 4,369, noting official measurements cover less than half the network and likely understate the problem.
- The federation reports that Vialidad Nacional has lost more than 800 technical specialists since December 2023 and faces a roughly 75% real budget reduction in 2026, with fuel-tax funds and investments underexecuted.
- Key corridors flagged as near failure include RN33 between Buenos Aires and Santa Fe and RN151 serving Vaca Muerta, where the report says patching no longer works and full reconstruction is required.
- Other stretches cited as bad or critical include RN34, RN5, RN3, RN7, RN121, RN119, RN120, A015, RN136 and 1V11, with several projects incomplete or moving slowly despite prior financing.
- In Buenos Aires province, 51.7% of national routes are rated in poor condition, with stalled works on RN3, RN5 and RN7, lower travel speeds and higher logistics costs triggering local demands to restart repairs.
